Alternative for VPI springs?

I have an HW19/IV with the standard spring suspension. I have often wondered if the performance could be improved with a non-spring suspension. It seems the favorite substitute is Sims Navcom Silencers, no longer available and rarely offered for sale used.
Is there anything I can actually get that does the job well?

Rpfef...the other VPI thread that you posted to, listed the Herbie's Big Tall Extra-Firm Tenderfeet for use on the HW-19 tables.

Here is the LINK

I have never tried these, but they are listed as replacements for the VPI in the ad on the link above.

Rpfef...I realize what they are designed for. Here is what is stated in the ad:

Big Tall Tenderfoot: Same as above except molded extra tall to lift components free of tall factory feet. Also great for turntables having severe footfall or other macro-vibrational issues. Superior upgrade for AR, Thorens, and VPI suspension springs.
